What I saw next was people running for safety. I just moved in the direction everyone was moving to escape the lynching till we were further attacked from the sides. That’s where I was macheted around my waist”.

Earlier, Afrilens News has reported the situation of things in Southern Kaduna, and it remains to be seen whether this onslaught is an aftermath of the election which returned the incumbent to power, although the ruling APC and party of the sitting governor lost the local government to the opposition PDP with a wide margin; 10,229 votes to PDP’s 34,658 votes, but it had no effect on the overall outcome of the state gubernatorial election.

Calls made to the Police Public Relations Officer in Kaduna state were yet to be returned as at the time of filing this report, but military presence were said to be around to curtail the excesses of the killer herdsmen who are still yet to be proscribed as a terrorist group by the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.
